prosperous age

Chapter 302 Chapter 301
"When the emperor wakes up, send it up, and put the letter inside and hand it in together."

Huang Jin's compassion overflowed, and he chose to hand over Wei Guangde's wooden box directly to Emperor Jiajing. As for the emperor's choice, it is beyond their slaves' ability to ask.

These old people naturally knew the character of Emperor Jiajing.

To tell the truth, what is considered important by the people is actually a trivial matter in the eyes of the emperor.

In fact, from Emperor Jiajing's point of view, he was only worried about two things.

One is things that affect one's own cultivation, and that is a big deal.

The second is things that affect the stability of the country, which is also a big deal, and he doesn't want to become an unfilial descendant of the old Zhu family and lose the country.

Other than that, it's really not a big deal, and it's just the emperor's thought.

Therefore, regarding what Wei Guangde said in the letter, it is really hard to say what choice Emperor Jiajing will make in the end, it depends on what is said in the memorial.

Not long after, Emperor Jiajing woke up from a nap, and Huang Jin would naturally not take out Wei Guangde's memorial at this time. According to Emperor Jiajing's habit, he would take an elixir to practice at this time, and then he would start working.

Emperor Jiajing didn't go to court, but it didn't mean he didn't deal with state affairs, he just didn't want to sit on the high dragon chair in Fengxian Hall and watch the clumsy performance of the officials below.

After watching it for so many years, he had already seen enough.

Everything was very harmonious, and Huang Jin had already brought the elixir without the need for Emperor Jiajing to speak.

After completing Zhou Tian's work and digesting the potency of the elixir, Emperor Jiajing finally opened his mouth and said: "Bring me all the memorials and see what's going on."

"Yes."

After Huang Jin answered in a low voice, he quickly walked to the entrance of the hall and waved to the outside. Gao Zhong walked in with three servants, two of whom were holding a tall stack of notebooks , while Chen Ju on one side was holding a wooden box in his hand.

With the appearance of these three people, the wooden box in Chen Ju's hand naturally attracted Emperor Jiajing's attention, and he pointed at Chen Ju and asked, "What is this?"

At this moment, did Emperor Jiajing think of the Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass that which of the following officials paid tribute to?
Before, because of the need for refining medicine, Emperor Jiajing issued a notice to the world to collect Ganoderma lucidum. Since then, officials and folks from all over the country have not stopped paying tribute to Ganoderma lucidum.

"This is something sent back by Wei Guangde, the deputy patrol envoy, Mr. Wei."

Chen Ju's answer made Emperor Jiajing stunned. What did he hear? It was something sent by Wei Guangde?
Did Wei Guangde find Ganoderma lucidum in Ji Town?
"What is it pretending to be? Open it and have a look."

Emperor Jiajing ordered out of curiosity.

"Yes."

Chen Ju stepped forward and stood in front of the imperial case, put down the box with both hands, and then opened the wooden box.

Naturally, what caught Emperor Jiajing's eyes was the lacquer-sealed memorial book, with an open letter next to it.

Seeing what was inside, Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly, but he still reached out to pick up the playbook and checked the seal.

Complete, untouched, his eyes fell on the opened letter again.

"what happened?"

The envelope showed signs of being torn open, so Emperor Jiajing naturally didn't intend to pick it up to read.

Chen Ju took two steps back and knelt down and said, "My lord, the day before Mr. Wei left Beijing, I went to Mr. Wei's place to take the words of the emperor.

Today, a servant who went out with Master Wei suddenly returned to Beijing to bring this box to the slave, which contained a memorial and a letter.

The slave opened the letter and read it. It was something Wei Guangde heard about in the Xuanfu. The former Jinyiwei experienced that Master Shen Lian was beheaded, and his two sons were killed with a stick in prison. The eldest son, who had been studying in Zhejiang with his mother, was also ordered by the governor of Xuanda, Mr. Yang, to take him to the Xuanfu for trial. "

"Shen Lian? Two sons were killed with sticks, and the eldest son was also expelled and taken to Xuanfu"

The expression on Emperor Jiajing's face remained unchanged, and the seal of the memorial book in his hand had been removed by him.

The letter was for Chen Ju and the others, and the memorial was for himself. Chen Ju just kept his duty and handed in the letter that Wei Guangde wrote to him.

Honest boy.

It was his intention to ask Wei Guangde to find an opportunity to go to Xuanfu, but he had only been out of Beijing for half a month, and Wei Guangde had already left Tang Shunzhi and went to Xuanfu, and handed in all the memorials.

Going through Chen Ju's channel instead of through the Secretary of General Administration indicates that the content of the memorandum is possible.
When opening the memorial, Emperor Jiajing actually had a judgment on the content, so he was not so surprised to see what was said in the memorial.

More than [-] taels of silver were sent over, but the military food in Xuanfu Town was becoming more and more empty. Naturally, it was impossible to fight on an empty stomach. As for how many castles and people were lost later, it was actually not important.

Lu Kai, Huh, the border people he killed pretended to be military exploits.

There is also Xu Lun, the Minister of the Ministry of War cannot clearly see the details, three people and one party.
The memorial is not long, but the amount of information is still relatively large.

Yang Shun's dereliction of duty, Lu Kai's extortion and concealment, and Xu Lun's negligence.

Emperor Jiajing knew who Yang Shun and Lu Kai were from, and the reason why he used them was to get the necessary food and salaries from the imperial court for the border town, but he didn't expect Yang Shun to go to Xuanda for a long time, and the place would be ruined Became like this.

Tubao seventy, men and women were killed 3000 people.

Incompetent, trash.

At this time, Emperor Jiajing did not consider the tragic experience of Shen Lian's family, but was extremely dissatisfied with Yang Shun's record in Xuanda.

In fact, Shen Lian has already been executed, and it doesn't make much sense for him to hold him accountable, but whether Yang Shun has done his job well or not, that's what he, the emperor, has to consider.

Wei Guangde's consideration was really fulfilled by Emperor Jiajing at this time. Emperor Jiajing was not interested in Shen Lian's family, but only cared about his country's safety.

Therefore, Wei Guangde naturally reported what Ma Fang said to Emperor Jiajing, hoping to pull Yang Shun off his horse.

"Greedy and incompetent."

Emperor Jiajing said angrily.

For more than a year, Yang Shun reported all good news to Jingli, saying that he commanded Bianzhen Ming Army to continuously defeat the attacks of the Ida Ministry, how many beheads today, and how many tomorrow will be beheaded. The head of the people, I want you to reward you with silver.

Involuntarily, Emperor Jiajing's face flushed, he was really a little angry, a deep feeling of being deceived filled his whole body, he was fooled by others.

Previously, Emperor Jiajing recognized Yang Shun's memorial to victory.

It was not long before the victory of the first battle in Baoanzhou. Under the circumstances at that time, the two sides were evenly matched, and Wei Guangde's fledgling could win the battle. Therefore, Emperor Jiajing really did not expect Yang Shun to fight the battle like this.

Suspicion, in fact, only came when Jin Yiwei sent Shen Lian to be beheaded in the name of a Bailian disciple. From the bottom of his heart, Emperor Jiajing naturally didn't believe it.

Shen Lian, who even dared to impeach the chief minister of the current dynasty, would he join the White Lotus Sect?

However, the memorabilia in Emperor Jiajing's hands was written by Wei Guangde. Although Wei Guangde had just entered the imperial court, he was considered an upright person, so naturally he would not deceive him with fraud.

Another reason for choosing Wei Guangde is that he is from Jiangxi, so he should not be an enemy of Yan Song like other officials, and only say bad things out of context.

Feeling that he was losing his composure, Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes and thought about it. Just as Wei Guangde said, Yang Shun couldn't stay in Xuanda, and if he continued to behave mischievously there, the border town would not be safe. The barrier cannot be lost.

Opening his eyes, he looked at the playbook held by the two servants next to him. Emperor Jiajing was no longer interested in reading it.

He waved his hand to signal them to go down, and then said to Huang Jin, "Come to me in Chuanwei."

After receiving the order, a servant from Yongshou Palace quickly ran out and went straight to the cabinet to tell Yan Song to see him.

At this time, Emperor Jiajing, who was sitting in the Yongshou Palace, had already begun to think about how to deal with Xuanda's affairs, and the Ministry of War also had to deal with it.

However, Emperor Jiajing was not a person who treats headaches and feet, he thinks more.

Taking advantage of the personnel changes of the hall officials of the Ministry of War, Emperor Jiajing wanted to continue to adjust, and there was a yamen that should be rectified.

By the time Yan Song hurried to Yongshou Palace, Emperor Jiajing had probably already thought about what changes to make.

After Yan Song saluted, Emperor Jiajing said to him: "Before Wei Guangde, the deputy border patrol envoy, left Beijing, I told him something, and asked him to stop by the Xuanfu to see the situation for more than a year. Today, his secret memorial It's already up."

Hearing Emperor Jiajing's words, Yan Song's heart tightened for no reason, the emperor sent Wei Guangde to Xuanfu, why?
Or to go secretly, it can only be said that someone said something bad news to Xuanfu in front of Emperor Jiajing to have such a result, who could it be?
In fact, at this time, Yan Song already had the answer in his mind, and only that yamen had the ability to report to Emperor Jiajing about the Xuanfu without his knowledge.

Xuan Mansion is Yang Shun's territory, if something goes wrong, Yang Shun will not be able to escape.

Yang Shun was different from Zhao Wenhua, he was filial to him, but he didn't know what Wei Guangde saw and reported.

Immediately, countless thoughts passed through Yan Song's mind, but he said: "Master Wei went to the Xuan Mansion to supervise the war two years ago, and he is very familiar with it, so it is reasonable for him to take a look."

"Yes, he has been to Xuan Mansion, and he only needs to make a simple comparison to know whether the situation there is good or bad."

Emperor Jiajing said something lightly, and then handed Wei Guangde's "Chen Xuanfu Border Affairs" on the imperial book case to Huang Jin who was standing beside him, and then he handed it to Yan Song.

Yan Song took it over and glanced at it, and felt his heart beating faster. What is it talking about in the memorial?
He knows some of these things, Bian Town has suffered many defeats in the past year, and it is true that it has lost a lot of people. It is hard to explain this, Lu Kai, and Xu Lun
The things on the memorial are actually not important, what is important is what the emperor thinks in his heart, whether he believes in Yang Shun or Wei Guangde, this is the key.

But thinking of being called here, Yan Song understood that Yang Shun might be in trouble.

"The content of Wei Guangde's and Yang Shun's memorials is very different. What do you think?"

Emperor Jiajing stared at Yan Song's vicissitudes old face, and asked bluntly.

Let yourself judge whether this is right or wrong. At this moment, Yan Song actually understood what Emperor Jiajing's attitude was, but he had to save his godson.

But how to say it so that Yang Shun can pass this pass smoothly?

In Yongshou Palace, Yan Song knew that he didn't have much time to think, let alone discuss with his son Yan Shifan, so he had to make his own judgment.

Thinking quickly in his mind, he looked for reasons that could clear Yang Shun of his suspicions.

Even though he had already guessed the emperor's intentions, Yan Song still planned to give it a try. If there is no credit, then it is hard work.

"Your Majesty, Yang Shun worked hard in Xuanda, and he was also diligent.

Recently, Xuanda played, Huang Taiji, the son of Alda Khan, led thousands of troops to raid the right guard of Datong, and Shun personally went to the front line to supervise the battle and repel them. "

Speaking of this, Yan Song peeked at Emperor Jiajing's expression, but what disappointed him was that the emperor's expression was calm and unmoved, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"If Yang Shun is said to be guilty, it was a supplementary report before. When Huang Taiji was fighting against Huang Taiji, he made the decision without authorization. He could send supplies to Taiji. Taiji sent Qiu Fu in exchange for this matter. As for the border fort was destroyed, the soldiers and civilians were arrested The massacre was committed by the general Xuan Da, the deputy general, etc., and they cannot escape responsibility, so it seems that Shun should not be the only one to be blamed."

Speaking of this, Yan Song thought of Lu Kai mentioned in Wei Guangde's memorabilia, of course he was also familiar with this person, and those who voted for the student post, worshiped him under Yan Song's sect.

"Yang Shunzhi was wrong if he didn't know the matter, and he handled it improperly. However, it is not known whether Lu Kai accepted bribes according to the rumors of the officials. Shun Kai should be dismissed.

But now that there are captives in Xuanfu and Datong, Yang Shun is not suitable for punishment at this time, he should be fined and put on the crime for defense, so as to protect the peace of Xuanda.

When Lu Kaige took office, officials were sent to investigate the impeachment, and after the facts were confirmed, they heard about it and made a decision. "

As for Lu Kai, as long as Yang Shun is fine, Lu Kai's matter is not a big deal.

Accepting bribes, several officials in the Ming Dynasty have not received filial piety, whether to check or not is actually just a matter of the meaning of the above, whether to touch him or not.

Using the unrest on the border as an excuse to fine Yang Shun with a salary, let him commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, so that big things can be reduced to small ones.

Wei Guangde’s memorial said that Yang Shun not only failed to handle local affairs well after he arrived at Xuanda, but also embezzled military funds, causing the frontier army’s combat power to decline and leading to the destruction of the frontier fort. Yan Song explained that Yang Shun was also capable and dared to come to the front line to command and dispatch The army fought in Alta, and there is no such thing as a decline in the strength of the frontier army.

If, as Wei Guangde reported, the frontier army was underfed and their fighting strength declined, would Yang Shun dare to go to supervise the battle?

If such rhetoric had been put in the past, it might have had some influence on Emperor Jiajing, but at this time, Emperor Jiajing had already made his own judgment, so naturally he would not be affected by Yan Song's words.

Slightly shaking his head, Emperor Jiajing said to Yan Song: "It seems unfair that the governors stay alone after the town patrol has gone."

The meaning of these words is naturally that Lu Kai, the inspector censor, was dismissed for investigation, and it seemed unfair to keep Yang Shun.

Zhen Xun, of course, refers to Xuanda Zhen Xun Press Yushi Lu Kai.

Before Yan Song could answer, Emperor Jiajing continued: "I have heard some sayings that Yang Shunzhi's talent is ordinary, not much higher than Zhen Xun, Xuanda is an important place and cannot be entrusted to this person.

I know that when facing the enemy, Yi Bing's family is afraid. Shun Kai all asked about it. "
